Patent EP-1003924-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHLEGEL UDO
IPC: C23C4/16
Filed: 1998-07-20
Abstract: When plain bearings are producing by thermal coating the coating flame also results in oxidation of a part of the coating material. To reduce this oxide formation and especially to lower the formation of oxide clusters the burner flame has a gas stream next to it which is oxygen-reduced in relation to air. Preferably only nitrogen (>/=99%) is used as cooling gas for the burner (51). The method provided for in the invention is preferably used to provide a connecting-rod eye with a sliding layer. The large connecting-rod eye (3) is subjected to pre-spindle trimming, cracking and further spindle trimming to the coating tolerance, sandblasted and microporously plasma-coated with an aluminium bronze. At the start of plasma spraying the plasma layer is deposited at a high temperature, which results in good adhesion of the plasma layer to the material of the connecting-rod eye and low porosity of the plasma layer. To prevent annealing of the material of the connecting-rod eye the deposit temperature of the plasma layer is lowered for that area which is removed by subsequent working of said plasma layer. After plasma coating the connecting-rod eye is opened by removing the bearing cap (9), which ruptures the plasma layer (16). The cap (9) is then screwed back on and the actual sliding layer created by fine spindle trimming. To improve the oil retention volume the plasma layer (16) has an annular groove (32). The invention is used in internal combustion engines.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé informatique qui permet de sélectionner des appareils orthodontiques. Ce procédé consiste à fournir des données représentatives d'une ou de plusieurs dents d'un patient, et à fournir des données représentatives d'un ensemble d'appareils orthodontiques. Chaque appareil orthodontique de l'ensemble possède un paramètre qui varie par rapport aux autres appareils de l'ensemble. On détermine au moins un paramètre géométrique de la ou des dents du patient à l'aide des données qui en sont représentatives. Le paramètre géométrique est ensuite comparé aux données représentatives de l'ensemble d'appareils orthodontiques, et un des appareils de l'ensemble est choisi en fonction de cette comparaison. L'ensemble d'appareils orthodontiques peut consister en un ensemble de bagues qui possèdent chacune une taille différente. Ces bagues peuvent en outre être préalablement enduites d'un matériau adhésif. Cette invention concerne également un support lisible par ordinateur qui comprend essentiellement un programme exécutable que l'on utilise lors de la sélection des appareils orthodontiques, un système d'orthodontie qui fait appel à ce processus de sélection, ainsi qu'un procédé permettant poser une bague d'orthodontie chez un patient. Cette invention concerne en outre un article comprenant un conteneur qui renferme un ensemble de bagues préalablement enduites.

When the need for argon is reduced to a yield  rho , where  rho  is less than or equal to  rho o less than or equal to  rho n and  rho o is a preset optimal yield, the extraction yield from the column is maintained at  rho o. The excess argon is used as a refrigeration source for the air to be distilled The air distillation installation (1) comprises an air distillation device (2) and at least one column (3) producing impure argon. The excess argon is extracted from the top of the column in liquid or gas form and is sent to at least one heat exchanger (5, 24). This extracted fraction is mixed (in 33) with a residual fluid taken from one of the columns (4, 9) before it is sent to the heat exchanger. This residual fluid comes from the medium pressure column and is sent to the low pressure column. The fluid can be impure argon extracted from the levels below the top of the medium pressure column and the mixture is sent to the top of the low pressure column. The installation also includes a column producing pure argon (4) by de-nitrogenation in the impure argon production column (3), extracting at least part of the excess argon in liquid or gas form from the top of the pure argon production column (4) and send it to a heat exchanger or to the distillation apparatus. The air distillation device has a double column comprising a medium pressure column (8), a low pressure column (9) and a vaporizer - condenser (10) thermally linking the top of the medium pressure column with the base of the low pressure column.  rho o is the yield for which a maximum flow D( rho o) of nitrogen can be extracted and for required yields less than rho o a nitrogen flow greater than D( rho ) or equal to D( rho o) is extracted. The additional nitrogen is used as a refrigerant after being expanded through a turbine and passage through a heat exchanger to cool the air to be distilled. Installation to carry out this process with at least one bypass pipe (48) sending part of the impure argon to the heat exchanger.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a method of preparing a natural resin by liquefying wood, bark, forest residues, wood industry residues, or other biomass using fast pyrolysis in order to produce product vapours and char. Following removal of the char from the product vapours, a first set of compounds are removed from the product vapours by rapid quenching in order to obtain a remaining selected product vapour from which a natural resin is obtained. The natural resin comprises a total phenolic content from about 30 % to about 80 % (w/w), and is further characterized as having a pleasant smoky odour. The natural resin has surprisingly been found to be suitable for use within adhesive formulations without requiring any further extraction or fractionation procedures. Adhesives comprising up to 60 % natural resin have been prepared and tested in board production and found to exhibit similar properties associated with commercially available resins. The natural resin may substitute for phenol, or for both phenol and formaldehyde within phenol-containing resins. Similarly, the natural resin can replace a substantial part of the components within urea-containing resins.
